It looks like there will be a race to the finish between James Cook and Jonathan Taylor in the battle to lead the NFL in rushing.
What once seemed an insurmountable lead has crumbled much like the Indianapolis Colts' advantage in the AFC South. While Indy and Jonathan Taylor struggle, Buffalo and James Cook are hitting their top stride. After 15 weeks of the NFL season, Cook has closed to within 28 yards of Taylor. There are eight running backs who have rushed for more than 1,000 yards. With three games remaining, six more need 100 yards or fewer to reach the four-figure mark. So much for the running game being invisible.
